Song has been linked with a move to Premier League giants Liverpool and Man Utd this summer along with former club Arsenal, who sold him to Barcelona for £15m two years ago.

And now the English heavyweights look set to be joined in the race by Italian giants Inter.

The San Siro club are desperate to add strength and quality to their squad after a dismal campaign which saw them finish fifth in Serie A.

Inter have already drafted in former Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic to help in their bid to return to the Champions League, and see the addition of Song as crucial to strengthening the middle of midfield.
